The 2014 Canterbury Festival is sadly over;
the venues no longer filled with eager audiences and world-class acts. The
Spiegeltent has been dismantled and is back on its around-the-world journey,
leaving us all eager for next year when the mirrored tent can return.
Though the Festival may be over, there is still lots to be excited about;
read below for more details.
The 2014 Festival saw over 30 sold out events across the city including Baby
Loves Halloween Disco, Dylan Thomas: Return Journey, Moscow Drug Club &
Cirque du Cabaret Variety Show, to name just a few. This year's Festival has
been one of the most successful yet, and we would love to know what your
favourite events were; why not send us an email, or facebook
or tweet
us?

After a fantastic evening at St
Gregory's Centre for Music on Monday 20 October, judges David Burridge
(chair, and Education Director of Big Reveal), Dr David Allinson
(Director of Music at Canterbury Christ Church University) & Matthew
Roberts (2013 Bursary Winner), had an extremely tough time choosing the
recipient of this year's Bursary. For the first time in the Bursary's
history, 2014 sees two recipients of the award; vocalist Sabrina Curwen
and violinist Jessica Meakin. Congratulations to both girls, and we wish
them every success in the coming year as they are able to utilise the
Bursary to further their musical education and career.

Are you missing the Spiegeltent as much
as we are? Though the fabulous tent may no longer be in the vicinity of
Canterbury, we are still dedicating efforts to ensure its return year on
year to the Festival. If you'd like to play a part in securing its future,
why not join our Spiegel 100 Club? Pledge ?5 a month each month for at
least a year, and be put into a prize draw each month to win ?50. Not bad
for the price of two cups of coffee! For more information, email
gina_at_canterburyfestival_dot_co_dot_uk.

The British Arts and Science Festivals
Association (BAFA) held their annual conference here in Canterbury during
this year's Canterbury Festival. A part of the conference highlights
exceptional members of Festival teams. Our Chair of the Festival Foundation,
Roddy-Loder Symonds, received an exceptional service award after being
nominated by our Director, Rosie Turner: ?He has vision and belief to succeed, he gives
generously himself and engages lots of his closest trusted friends in the
cause. When asked "Why do you do it?" he always replies, "I have been
very lucky in my life and I just would like to give something back.'
Previous Festival Director, Mark Deller, was also recognised for his
extraordinary contribution to arts festivals throughout his career.
